Can you start a new job when you’re on gardening leave? My friend’s role was eliminated at Citi. He received an offer from another bank.
Is there a way Citi can find out and block his severance? He is supposed to receive severance after his garden leave is over.Citi

He is still employed by Citi whether on garden leave or during the WARN period, so no you can’t take another role outside Citi during that time. You’re still employed and getting a paycheck and benefits. If you take another job, you’d have to quit Citi ( or they could fire you since you violated the terms of employment), either could make you forfeit severance ( and the remaining garden leave or WARN pay

How do they find out if you don’t tell them?

You mean 60/90 day Warn period?

To be on a safer side, can your friend defer their start date with the new employer?

No

His severance would only be impacted if the new job is with Citi. If he’s filing for unemployment that stops with the new job

If you friend joint the HR calls the mentioned that he’d still be entitled to the severance even if he finds another job. He is not in a garden leave if he was layoff he is in a notice period which is different. Garden leave is when you actually resign without a layoff.
If in doubt better to contact the HR person that they assigned as the point of contact

Wait he gets a lump sum at the end of severance period?

I was told they would work with me to expedite leave. So your friend could ask to be released and start the new job before the leave ends. S/He won't be paid during that time so there is a little money left on the table, up to them if the new job is worth that.

If the role was eliminated, then by all means take the new job. As a precaution, have your friend keep looking at what else is out there, but don't apply until receiving some notice that it's not going through.

What’s a good way of networking to other googlers in other ladders. I feel Data Centers are so looked down upon and so out of touch with the rest of Google
